CALL PRIX RUSSOLO 2017

Since its creation in 1979, the Russolo Award explores
new sonic territories opened by the interfacing researches of the composer,
painter and metaphysician Luigi Russolo (1885-1947). A key figure of the
musical revival of the twentieth century, Luigi Russolo became famous in 1913
with his manifesto The Art of Noises, which develops the idea that all sounds,
especially those from the industrial world, have their place in musical
orchestration. It will move from theory to practice by developing many sound
machines like the famous noisemakers Intonarumori or Russolophone, early synthesizers,
and invent noise music, foreshadowing the concrete and electronic music. From
the start Russolo seek to reach higher states of consciousness through images
or sounds, it is within this context that the Prix Russolo 2017 opens its field
of research, from this 31st edition, to all acousmatic or electronic music
making visible or audible the immaterial in this double movement of
materialization of the spirit and spiritualization of matter.

The selected works will be presented from October to
December in several cities (Annecy, Athens, Berlin, Dublin, Genève, Osaka,
Mexico, Moscow, Paris…list in progress) where the audience will vote to 1st 2nd
3rd Prix Russolo 2017. Grand Prix Russolo will be decided by former winners.
The list of prize-winners shall be communicated end of December 2017 during the
last Prix Russolo concert in Moscow and in Annecy (same day).

A cd will be produce with the finalist and winners
